All Reviews for Snorkeling Cruises & Tours

Despite taking motion sickness medication, I felt a bit nauseous on the way there. Two of my friends also got seasick.

Since swimming seemed tiring, I borrowed a float and went snorkeling. The water was cold, and the waves made me feel even more nauseous, but the clarity of the sea was amazing, and I could see deep down.

I was expecting colorful tropical fish (like Nemo), but instead, there were various medium-sized fish.

Both breakfast and lunch looked delicious, but I couldn't eat anything at all because I was feeling sick. I couldn't even drink anything, which was really disappointing.

The restroom was spacious, and since I changed right after getting out of the sea, I didn't feel cold.

On the way back, it was great to see a whale. I thought I would like to participate again next time.

酔い止めを飲んだにもかかわらす、行きにちょっと酔いました。友達2人も酔ってました。
泳ぐのも疲れそうだったので、浮き輪を借りてシュノーケルしました。水も冷たく、波でさらに酔っていいことなしだったのですが、海の透明度はすごくて深くまで見えました。
カラフルな熱帯魚（ニモみたいな）を期待していたのですが、それとは違っていろいろな種類の中くらいの魚がいました。
　朝ごはん、ランチともおいしそうなものが並んでいましたが、酔っていたため全く食べれず。飲み物も飲めず。すごく残念でした。
　トイレがひろく、海からあがってすぐに着替えたため、寒くはなかったです。
帰り、クジラがみれたのがよかったです。
次に行く時、もう一度参加したいと思いました。

Kayaking is a great way to observe different snorkeling sites. Lots of friendly sea turtles and was able to hear the songs of the humpback whales. Would have liked to see more varieties of fish. For a kayaker used to a 1-person boat, the 2-person kayak was more limiting. Our guide provided a lot of information about the sea life in the area. It was very informational. Overall a good day.

We saw so many turtles! We had a little trouble with Snuba because of some ear pain, but our dive instructor was great at working with us. They even stopped on the way back for some whale watching and we saw a whole pod! Definitely recommended for a great adventure

Until the day before, the weather on Oahu was not looking good, and I was very anxious, but it turned sunny with the tour pickup.
I was worried about the temperature and water temperature since I had a 7-year-old child with me, but both were warmer than I expected, and I didn't feel particularly cold. For those who are concerned, I think a surf top would be sufficient.
The sandbar was a truly beautiful place. I felt that seeing it in person was worth more than hearing about it a hundred times. Additionally, snorkeling near the coral after visiting the sandbar was also a delightful experience.
I appreciated the captain's playful service as well.

前日まで、オアフ島の天候も思わしくなく非常に不安でしたが、ツアーのピックアップと共に晴天になりました。
　子ども（７歳）がいたので気温と水温が心配でしたが、思ったよりも気温、水温とも温かく特に寒いと感じることはありませんでした。心配な方は、サーフィン用のタッパーがあれば十分と思います。
　サンドバーは、とても素敵な場所でした。一見は百聞にしかずとはこのことと感じました。また、サンドバー見学に続いての珊瑚付近でのシュノーケルもまた一興でした。
　キャプテンの茶目っ気たっぷりのサービスもありがたかったです。

Last year, the tour was in the morning, and this time it was in the afternoon. Although it was a different company's tour, there wasn't much difference in content. Perhaps because it was the same season, even though they advertised that the boat would dock in the most favorable position, I felt that the distance from the boat to the sandbar was quite far, and the water level was higher than last year. The lunch was quite good, and the malasadas were delicious. The staff worked hard to keep everyone excited and raised their energy levels, but personally, I would have preferred a quieter, more relaxed experience. The photos taken at the sandbar that were uploaded to the website were a bit embarrassing, but I was still happy about it.

昨年は午前中、今回は午後のツアー。前回とは違う会社のツアーで、殆ど内容の違いはなかったのですが、時期が同じというのもあるのでしょうが、一番優遇されている位置にボートが停泊するとうたっていた割には、ボートからサンドバーまでの距離が遠かったように思いましたし、昨年よりも水位が高かったです。ランチの内容はかなりGOODです。マラサダも美味しかったです。スタッフのみなさんは、みんなを盛り上げようと、かなりテンション上げて頑張っていましたが、私的には、もう少し静かに、ゆったりと過ごしたかったな--。サンドバーで順番に撮っていただいた写真がHPにアップされていたのは、少々恥ずかしいけど、やっぱり嬉しいです。

It was a good decision to take motion sickness medication based on the information I gathered beforehand. Thanks to that, despite feeling unwell, I was able to forget the discomfort and enjoy myself.

The $10 wet gear rental was also a big plus. Considering the temperature difference when getting out of the water in December, I can't imagine doing it without that.

From a large family including grandparents to just two mothers and children, couples, and friends, various generations became "classmates," which made me wonder how it would go, but the "class representative" did a great job of bringing everyone together.

On the boat, you could really feel the crew, led by the captain, working together to ensure everyone had a good time, and their attention to safety left a great impression.

And of course, the dolphins and turtles made an appearance, which was incredibly exciting. Since they are wild, it was just a fleeting moment, but then a whale even showed off its spout and tail! That might have been the most thrilling part, haha. The professional photographer captured every scene, and even though it was pricey, I ended up buying the CD and DVD set. Considering I couldn't take those photos myself, it felt reasonable.

I also can't forget how delicious the cheeseburger we received on the way back was (though I was only able to eat half due to feeling unwell, which was a shame).

Honestly, I thought it was a bit pricey compared to other tours, but if you're looking to enjoy yourself without worries, I highly recommend this tour. By the way, the dolphin university bag we received at the end was very useful as a souvenir bag when returning home.

あらかじめ仕入れた情報で酔い止めを飲んでおいて正解でした。おかげで体調不良にも関わらず、つらさを忘れて楽しむことができました。
ウェット１０ドルの貸し出しがあったのも大きかった。12月の海はもちろん、水から上がったときの温度差を思うとこれ無しは考えられなかった。
おじいちゃんおばあちゃんを含む大家族から、母子２人、カップルやお友達同士など様々な世代が「同級生」となり、どうかな~とちょっと思ったけれど、「学級委員長」が上手にまとめておられました。
船の上では、キャプテン以下皆さんが一丸となって楽しませよう！とする姿勢がビシビシと感じられて、さらに安全に対するケアもちゃんとされていて好印象。
そして肝心のイルカ先生もカメ先生も登場して、大興奮でした。野生なのでまぁ一瞬なのですが…。さらにはクジラ先生まで潮吹きと尻尾を披露！！これが実は一番興奮したかも＞笑。写真はプロの方がどのシーンも押さえており、高いながらもCDとDVDのセットを買っちゃいました。自分で撮れないことを思えばリーズナブル☆
さらに帰りにいただいたチーズバーガーの美味しかったのが忘れられません（といいつつ体調不良で半分が限界だったのが残念）。
他のツアーに比べて値が張るな~と正直思いつつも、アレコレ安心して楽しむならオススメのツアーです。
ちなみに最後にいただいたイルカ大学のバッグ、帰国時にはお土産用のかばんとして大活躍しました。

The helicopter trip was fun. The pilot (Julie) was very informative. Would have been better if the volcano was erupting so that we could have seen that!

We participated as a couple at the end of November 2010.

On this day, it was just us and another couple.

First, we received a brief explanation at the office. The documents were written in Japanese, so I think you can understand the important points by reading them (there were no staff members who spoke Japanese).

And off we go!!
A large rubber boat. So exciting.
As soon as we left the harbor and entered the sea, dolphins started chasing the boat.
There were quite a large number of them, close enough to touch.

After a while, the boat went into full speed mode.
It was incredibly fast, and it felt truly refreshing.
Occasionally, the captain would stop the boat and explain various landmarks (in English).
At the final destination, we snorkeled for about an hour and a half.
Afterward, we were served drinks, fruits, and snacks, and we all talked about what fish we saw.

Then we sped back again.
On the return trip, the captain also guided us through various landmarks.

We were welcomed by dolphins again and returned to the harbor, concluding the trip.

The boat was just so much fun♪
I highly recommend trying it!!!

2010・11末に夫婦で参加しました。

この日は私たちともうひと組みのカップルだけでした。

最初は事務所で簡単な説明を受けます。書類が日本語で書かれていますので、読めば注意事項はわかると思います（日本語を話せるスタッフはいませんでした）

いざ出発!!
大きなゴムボート。わくわく。
ハーバーから海に出ると、早速イルカがボートを追いかけてきました。
結構な大群で、もう触れる位の距離です。

しばらくするとボートが本気モードで突っ走ります。
ものすごいスピードで、本当に気分爽快です。
ときどきボートを止めて、各名所をキャプテンが説明をしてくれます。（英語）
最終目的地で一時間半位のシュノーケリングをします。
終了後、ドリンク、フルーツ、スナックを出してもらい、
どんな魚をみたかなどを皆でお話しました。

そしてまた猛スピードで帰ります。
復路も各名所を案内してくれます。

そしてまたイルカに迎えられ、ハーバーに帰り終了です。

なにしろボートが楽しい♪
是非お試しを!!!

I went on this tour with my friend, both of us have grown up around the water and have been snorkeling many times in Hawaii. On this tour, they take you to a snorkel spot called turtle canyon. However, turtle canyon is between 40 and 50 feet deep and your basically staring down at a reef that is so far down there are scuba divers below you AND it is not a secluded snorkeling spot but rather an open ocean spot far away from the shore of waikiki beach... like, past where the surfers are!
I found it to be a little scary and the "guide" kept swimming off leaving my friend and I to chase him and not guiding us at all. Once the word "sharks" was mentioned, i swam back to the boat (a 5minute swim back btw).
On another note, the sailing part was lovely and relaxing and we saw TONS OF DOLPHINS, the lunch was good as was the champagne and other drinks. The crew was great as well... except for the snorkel guide that kept leaving us to float alone in the middle of the ocean.

I thought that I might only see dolphins from a distance, but they came right up close enough to touch! I highly recommend this for those who are snorkeling for the first time or visiting Hawaii for the first time! My family was also visiting Hawaii and traveling abroad for the first time, and at first, we were a bit nervous, but all the staff were so kind that by the time we left, everyone was smiling. It was great to hear my family say, "Thank you for choosing this tour!" at the end!

イルカが本当に見れるのか、見れてもちょっと遠目からなんだと思っていましたが、手が届きそうなところまでイルカが来てくれました！
シュノーケリングが初めて、ハワイが初めての方にぜひおすすめだと思います！
私のファミリーもハワイ初めて、海外初めてで、最初は緊張気味だったのですが、スタッフの方がみんな優しくて帰る頃には皆にこにこの笑顔でした。最後にファミリーに「このツアーを選んでくれてありがとう」と言ってもらえたのが良かったです！

On November 21, I went to Holoholo Charters. My family participated, and the weather was great, making it a very pleasant experience.

We were the only four Japanese people on board. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, but I had no worries that day at all. It seemed like no one was feeling seasick.

We started with snorkeling right away. There weren't many fish, but it was decent enough.

After that, we ordered some beers, which were delicious. Then we headed towards Napali, and on the way, we spotted a sea turtle. The staff pointed it out to us. Eventually, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They came quite close for a while, and we were able to watch them for a good amount of time. There seemed to be quite a few of them, and they were adorable.

After that, we headed towards Napali and saw filming locations for Jurassic Park, King Kong, and Pirates. The views were absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth coming. The staff provided a lot of explanations, but since it was all in English, I didn't understand everything. My sister occasionally translated for me, but even without understanding, it was enjoyable. We got close to birds nesting on the cliffs and approached caves, which had many highlights and was quite impressive.

On the way back, we had lunch and returned to the port, but after eating, we suddenly felt very sleepy, and our family was the only one that fell into a deep sleep. I thought it was funny that we were the only ones sleeping while everyone else seemed so energetic. Some people were sitting outside the boat or lounging around, and it felt great with the wind blowing. The foreigners were getting sunburned from direct sunlight. Everyone seemed satisfied.

I think anyone visiting Kauai for the first time should definitely participate in this experience.

11月21日にホロホロチャーターズに行ってきました。
家族で参加したのですが天気もよくとても気持ちがよかったです。

日本人は私たち4人だけでした。船酔いが心配だったので事前に酔い止めを飲みましたがこの日は全く心配なかったです。船酔いしている人もいないようでした。

最初すぐにシュノーケルをしました。あんまりお魚はいませんでしたがまあそこそこという感じでした。

そのあとビールなど頼めばくれてとってもおいしかったです。
その後ナパリへむかうのですが途中ウミガメがいました。スタッフが教えてくれます。
その後ついにイルカの群れにも出会う事ができました。暫くイルカに近づいてくれて結構ながく見れました。かなりの頭数がいた感じです。かわいかったです。

そのあと ナパリに向かってジュラシックパークやキングコングやパイレーツなどの撮影したところをみました。
すばらしい絶景で、来てよかったとほんとに思いました。スタッフのかたがものずごく説明してくれるのですがなんせ英語なので詳しくはわかりませんでした。妹がちょくちょく通訳してくれたのですがわからなくても楽しいと思います。崖に巣を作っている鳥の近くにいったり洞窟に接近したりなかなか見所があって迫力がありました。

帰りはランチがあってまた港に戻りますがご飯食べた後は急に眠くなり私達の家族だけ爆睡でした。
寝ているのは私達だけでみんな元気だなーって思いました。
船の外に座ったりごろごろしたり皆適当にくつろいで風が気持ちよくて最高でした。外国人の方は直射日光をあびてあかーくなってました。
皆さん満足しているようでした。
カウアイ島の初めて行く人は是非参加した方がいいと思います。

November in Hawaii is the rainy season, but it was sunny on the day of our visit!

It wasn't too early in the morning, and for a light breakfast, we enjoyed malasadas from Leonard's. The freshly fried donuts were delicious.

At first, we headed north by boat, but it turned out there were no dolphins, so we returned south. I was a bit anxious thinking we might not see any, but the professionals had the latest dolphin information, and when we spotted dolphin fins from the boat, everyone was thrilled.

Once we got into the water, it took a little while to get the hang of it, and I couldn't see them well at first, but I could hear the dolphins making sounds like "kyuu-kyuu," which indicated they were nearby. Once I got used to it, they came close, and it was incredibly moving to swim right beside them. There were baby dolphins too!

We saw a type of dolphin called the spinner dolphin, and it was true that they spin even in the wild. I witnessed them spinning a couple of times.

The water was a bit cold, so I rented a wetsuit for my upper body for $10. If you're worried about the cold, I definitely recommend renting one; it also helps with buoyancy.

I also had fun trying stand-up paddle surfing, which I had personally wanted to do.

I was so captivated by the dolphins that I didn't have much time to relax while snorkeling. I think the original plan was to swim with dolphins in the north and snorkel (to see sea turtles) in the south. However, we did catch a glimpse of a sea turtle from the boat on the way back. We also saw a seal come close to the boat, and it was adorable!

In diving, we encounter sea turtles almost every time, but for dolphins, you really have to search for them. I'm grateful to Dolphin University for their professional dolphin search.

The staff were also very friendly, and we had a fun and comfortable time on the boat. I definitely want to go again next time!

11月のハワイは雨期ですが、当日は晴れ！

朝も恐ろしいほど早くはなく、軽い朝ごはんに、「レナーズ」のマラサダをいただけます。
揚げたてドーナツは美味しいです。

最初、ノースのほうへ船を向けていましたが、イルカがいないことが判明し、南に戻りました。これは、会えないのかも。。と少し不安になりましたが、そこはプロ。イルカ情報が入り、船上からイルカの背びれが見えたらみんな大興奮でした。

海に入ってしばらくは要領を得ずに、うまく見られませんでしたが、イルカの鳴き声が「キュウーキュウー」と聞こえてきて近くにいることがわかりました。慣れてきたら、近くにやってきたのでしっかりそばを泳げてすごく感動的でした。子イルカもいましたよ！

あと、ハシナガイルカという種類で、野生でもスピンをするっていう話があったのですが本当でした。2度ほど、クルクルクルっとスピンするのを見られました。

少し水が冷たいので10ドルで上半身のウェットスーツを借りました。冷たいとテンションが下がるので、心配な人は絶対借りたほうがいいです。浮力も上がります。

あと個人的にやってみたかったスタンドアップパドルサーフィンも体験できて楽しかったです。

イルカに夢中でシュノーケリングはあんまりゆっくりする時間はありませんでした。たぶん、当初の予定では、ノースでイルカスイム、南でシュノーケリング（ウミガメ見る）だったのかなと思います。でも帰りの船の中から一瞬ウミガメも見られましたね。あと、アザラシも船に近付いてきて見られました。かわいかった~

ダイビングでは、ウミガメはほぼ毎回遭遇しますが、イルカは、やはり探さないと見つからないと思います。イルカ大学さんのプロのイルカ捜索に感謝です。

あと、スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーで、船の上でもずっと楽しく居心地のいい時間を過ごせました。
また次回も行きたいなぁと思います！

We used this for our honeymoon.

We participated on November 26, and the weather was partly cloudy and colder than we expected, which was a bit disappointing, but aside from that, we were very satisfied. All the guides were cheerful and great people. It was reassuring to have a Japanese guide, haha.

By the way, we were lucky enough to see turtles about six times before arriving at the sandbar!

今回はハネムーンで利用させて頂きました。

１１月２６日に参加しましたが、お天気が晴れ時々曇りといった感じで思っていたよりも寒く、その点が少し残念でしたが、それ以外は大変満足です。ガイドさんもみんな明るくいい人ばかりでした。日本人のガイドさんがいるのでホッとします 笑

ちなみにサンドバーへ到着するまでに運良くカメに６回程会えましたよ♪

The sandbar was really beautiful!! I definitely think you should go! I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was amazing. I thought there would only be English-speaking staff, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese, so I felt reassured.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was moved by how many beautiful fish I saw. Also, it was great that we had time to practice in a shallow area where we could stand before going into the deeper water. After getting out of the sea, it was quite cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a larger bath towel or something to cover your body.

サンドバーは本当にきれいでした！！絶対行くべきだと思います！
ウミガメも至近距離で見れたりして、最高でした。英語スタッフばかりかと思いきや、日本語を話せるスタッフさんがいたので安心でした。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、きれいな魚がたくさん見れて感動でした。あと、サンドバーの足がつく浅い場所で事前に練習する時間があったのでよかったです。海から上がったあと、結構寒いので大きめのバスタオルなど、体を覆えるものを持っていくといいと思います。

I was a bit anxious about participating alone, but from the moment I got on the van during the early morning gathering, all my worries disappeared!

Our guide, Yuji, was really energetic and entertained everyone with various stories! It didn't take long to drive, maybe less than an hour? During the drive to our destination, we saw different scenery from Waikiki, and Yuji shared lots of interesting information, like the hospital where President Obama was born and the famous "this tree, that tree" spot.

Once we arrived at the yacht harbor, we boarded the boat, changed into our wetsuits, put on fins, and equipped ourselves with snorkeling gear to search for dolphins! We sang songs...♪ When we spotted dolphins, we all jumped in together! The moment I put my face in the water, I immediately heard the sound of dolphins. It was so moving... I can't even count how many dolphins we saw. We got to see them jumping up close and felt like we were in the same ocean at the same level as them.

After that, we went to a turtle spot. At a depth of about 15 meters, I saw three turtles swimming gently below. When I looked up, there was a turtle right next to me, swimming at the same level! I was a bit startled☆ but it was so cute. Although it was a dolphin tour, I was really moved to swim with the turtles.

On the way back, we enjoyed a leisurely tea time with everyone, having some tea and snacks♪ It felt like a little cruise! Participating alone was no problem at all. We were mostly in the water, and chatting on the boat was fun too. It became a wonderful memory♪

Thank you, Yuji!!!!

1人参加で少し不安はありましたが、早朝集合でバンに乗り込んだ瞬間から不安は吹っ飛びました！

ガイドのゆーじがテンション高くて♪色んなお話でみんなを楽しませてくれます！
車で1時間もかからなかったかな？到着するまでのドライブもワイキキとは違う風景を見ながら、ゆーじが色々と教えてくれます。オバマ大統領が産まれた病院とか、この木なんの木とか☆

ヨットハーバーに着き、船に乗り込んで船上でウェットスーツに着替え、足ひれを付け、シュノーケル装備をしてみんなでイルカを探します！歌をうたったり・・・♪
イルカを見つけたらみんなで飛び込めー♪
顔をつけた瞬間、真っ先にイルカの鳴き声が聞こえました。感動です・・・。
イルカは何匹見たかわからないほど見ることができました。間近でジャンプも見れて、同じ目線で同じ海でイルカを感じれました。
その後、海がめスポットに行きました。水深15mくらいのところで、下の方で海がめが3匹ほどゆらゆら泳いでました。顔を上げたらなんと！海がめが真横であたしと同じ目線で！泳いでます！ちょっと焦った☆でも可愛かったです。
イルカツアーだったけどあたしは海がめと一緒に泳げたことに感動しちゃいました。

帰りはゆっくりみんなでお茶やお菓子でティータイム♪ちょっとしたクルージングを楽しめます！
1人参加でも全然問題ないです。ほとんど海の中にいるし、船の上でのおしゃべりも楽しかったですよ。
いい思い出になりました♪

ゆーじ、ありがとう！！！！

I participated for the first time when I went to Hawaii during Golden Week.

The weather was a bit cloudy.
However, I had checked the low tide times perfectly.

Surprisingly, the sandbar was much more exposed than the images suggested.
It was somewhat disappointing...
It was unexpected.

I thought it was nice to have space for two chairs.

Basically, this activity can be tough if the weather isn't good.
When the surrounding sea is cloudy, it looks dark, and it's hard to encounter sea turtles.

But I thought the food on the boat was delicious.
Also, I was happy to receive Leonard's malasadas, which I hadn't planned to eat.

Next time, I want to avoid going during the rainy season or after low tide.

GWにハワイへ行った際、初参加しました。

天気はちょっと曇り気味。
でも干潮の時間も調べてばっちりだったんです。

なんと、サンドバーは写真のイメージと違って、思いっきり出てたんです。
なんともありがたみの少ないことで・・・
想定外でした。

チェアーが二つ乗るくらいってのがいいもんだなと思いました。

基本的には天気が良くないとしんどいアクティビティーですね。
周りの海も曇りだとなんだか黒っぽいし、ウミガメも遭遇しづらいし。

でも船の上のご飯は美味しかったと思います。
あとは、レナーズのマラサダを配ってもらえたので食べる予定のなかった私には嬉しかったです。

次はまた、雨季や干潮過ぎる日にちは外して行きたいと思います。

It was my first time participating in Heaven's Sea!!
Unfortunately, the weather was quite cold that day, but the staff were very kind, and I had a great time!
I did get stung by a jellyfish right at the end, but thanks to them applying medicine right away, there were no lasting effects♪

Next time I participate, I want to go when it's warm... haha.

天国の海初参加でした！！
この日はあいにくの天気でとても寒かったですが
スタッフの方がとても親切で楽しめました！
また最後の最後にくらげにかまれてしまいましたが
すぐに薬を塗ってくれたおかげで
後も残りませんでした♪

次回参加する際には、あったかーいときに行きたいです・・・笑

The location is fantastic (you can see Kualoa Ranch, famous for movie shoots, in the background of the sandy beach!), and the friendliness of the staff was outstanding. I definitely recommend using a waterproof camera to take plenty of memorable photos. One thing to note is that you will get sunburned, so please apply sunscreen generously in advance.

ロケーションは最高（砂浜のバックには、映画撮影でも有名なクアロア牧場が見えます！）、また、スタッフの皆さんのフレンドリーさも抜群でした。ぜひ、防水カメラを使って、思い出の写真をいっぱいとることをお勧めします。一点、注意点は、やはり日焼けしますので、日焼け止めはこれでもかという具合に事前に塗っておいてください。

What a great time!! Saw a bunch of turtles and lots of fish, it was great!!

I wasn't sure what Sandbar would be like, but it was simply beautiful.

The early morning plan had fewer participants, so it became a recommendation, but it turned out well. The reason is that you need to be prepared for the cold in the morning.

According to the locals, it gets cold after October, so it's not highly recommended.

We were fortunate with the weather, but recently in Hawaii, there has been a lot of rain, so be prepared for disappointing weather...

The clear sea under the blue sky is the best!

サンドバーがどんなものかわからずの参加でしたが、
ただただキレイの一言でした。

早朝プランが人数足らず、おすすめになってしまったのですが良かったです。
理由は朝は寒さの覚悟が必要だから。

現地の人曰く、１０月過ぎは寒くなりあまりお勧めでないとのこと。

天気に恵まれたので幸いですが、
最近のハワイは雨続きなので、残念な天気の場合は覚悟が・・

青い空の下の澄んだ海は最高ですよ。

This is my second time on a dolphin tour (the first time was with another company). I was able to see many dolphins, and it was fun to get up close to the sea turtles. The staff on the boat also entertained us in various ways.

It was a bit disappointing that the female staff didn't provide enough information about whether we could change clothes in addition to just borrowing wetsuits or using the restroom.

イルカツアーは２回目です。（１回目は他社）
イルカもたくさん見れたし、海亀とも超接近できたのが
楽しかったです。
船上でもスタッフがあれこれ楽しませてくれました。

ウエットの貸出や、トイレだけなのか着替えていいのか、女性スタッフの言葉が足りなかったのがちょっと残念。

I wish I could have swum a little closer to the dolphins, but I was moved to see wild dolphins for the first time. I also saw sea turtles, and the hamburger I had on the boat was very delicious.

At the end of the tour, we were taught hula dancing. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic at first, but surprisingly, it was fun to dance! I thought it would have been nice to have a bit more time for the hula lesson.

I wish there had been time to change before heading back, but overall, it was a very satisfying tour.

Thank you very much.

イルカともう少し近くで泳げたらよかったな・・と思いましたが、初めて野生のイルカをみれて感動しました。
ウミガメも見れたし、あと船上で食べたハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

ツアーの最後にフラダンスを教えてもらうのですが、
正直、初めはあまり乗り気じゃありませんでしたが、
踊ってみると意外にも楽しい！！
もう少しフラレッスン時間があってもよかったと思う位でした。

帰りの着替える時間があればよかったかな？と思いますが、全体的にとても満足のいくツアーでした。

ありがとうございました。

Not sure why they dont advertise this, but the crew is smokin' hott! It made it an enjoyable afternoon for me and my girlfriends. Mahalo for the great time :)

The malasadas for breakfast were delicious.

I was thrilled to see the dolphins up close! I also enjoyed my first experience with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

The hamburgers for lunch were tasty, and I had a fun day overall.

I highly recommend this Dolphin University!

朝食のマラサダ美味しかった。

イルカ先生も近くで見れて感激！　カヤックやスタンドアップ・パドルも初体験で楽しめました。

昼食のハンバーガーも美味しかったし、楽しい一日を過ごすことが出来ました。

このイルカ大学はめっちゃおすすめ！！

Last time I had a very disappointing experience on a different tour, so to be honest, I wasn't expecting much this time either... But it was incredible!!! We searched for dolphins, and when we found them, everyone jumped into the sea at once! When I looked into the water, the dolphins were swimming really close by. I was so moved. Then, we also encountered sea turtles during the second hour. I was so impressed that I ended up participating twice during my stay (^O^)／ I highly recommend Dolphin Junior High. The staff were all really fun, and I'm glad I participated. I definitely plan to join again next time.

前回別のツアーでとても残念な思いをしたので、正直今回もあまり期待していなかったんですが・・・
とんでもない！！！
イルカを探し、見つけるとみんな一斉に海へ！
海を覗くと本当に近くにイルカ先生達が泳いでるんです。
もうこれには感激です。
そして、2時間目のウミガメ先生にも遭遇。
もう、感動しすぎて滞在中2回も参加しちゃいました(^O^)／
イルカ中学本当にお勧めです。
スタッフの方も本当に楽しい方ばかりで、参加して良かった。
次も必ず参加すると思います。

We participated for the first time as a couple. Since we had an early morning meeting, I was nervous about whether we could wake up, but we received a courteous morning call and were able to join without being late. On the way, it was raining, but it cleared up perfectly at the destination, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow.

Furthermore, shortly after the boat departed, a group of about 100 dolphins greeted us, and we were able to see many of them both from the boat and underwater. The staff were very considerate, ensuring that pregnant participants like me and those with children didn't overexert themselves, which made us feel very safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. We quickly bonded with the cheerful and friendly staff.

After snorkeling, they kept us entertained by drawing cute flowers and dolphins on our arms with pens and even danced the hula. Both my partner and I are vegetarians, and they accommodated us by preparing the hamburgers in a vegetarian style, making it a truly satisfying tour.

I highly recommend this for beginners, families, and solo travelers alike!

夫婦で初参加しました。
朝早い集合だったので起きられるかドキドキしましたが、丁寧なモーニングコールをいただいて遅刻せずに参加できました。
この日は行きのバスでは雨が降っていましたが現地ではばっちり晴れてくれて、虹まで観えてラッキーでした。
さらに船が出発してからすぐ１００頭程のイルカの群れが出迎えてくれて、船の上からも水中からもたくさん観る事が出来ました。
妊婦の私やお子さん連れの参加者へも無理しないようにと細やかな気遣いをしっかりしてくださり、とても安心して楽しむ事ができました。陽気でフレンドリーなスタッフさん達とすぐに打ち解ける事ができました。
シュノーケリングが終わってからも飽きさせないように、腕にペンでカワイイお花やイルカを書いてくれたり、フラを踊ってくれたり楽しませてくれました。
夫婦とも菜食なのですが、ハンバーガーをベジタリアン仕様にして下さるなど本当に大満足なツアーとなりました。
初心者・家族・ひとり、どんな方にもとてもオススメです！

I participated in the afternoon tour.

I joined with high expectations after reading everyone's experiences, and it did not disappoint! The staff were all kind, and their stories were interesting, making for a fun time.

It was a bit disappointing that the sea turtle "Noboru" (laughs) didn't show up much. Also, while snorkeling was enjoyable, the water temperature was too cold...

I was able to relax while enjoying delicious BBQ with a beautiful view of the ocean! Thank you very much. I will definitely join again when I come back to Hawaii!

午後のツアーに参加しました。

みなさんの体験談を読んで期待をして参加したのですが、期待通り！スタッフの方もみなさん親切で話も面白く、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

ウミガメの『のぼる(笑)』はあまり姿を見せなかったので、残念です。
あとシュノーケルは楽しかったけれども、水温が冷た過ぎました・・・。

キレイな海を見ながらおいしいＢＢＱ、リラックスできました！
ありがとうございました。
またハワイに来た時は参加させてもらいます♪

Even non-swimmers can feel safe with life jackets, and there were families with small children having a great time, so I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy. All participants were able to see dolphins, and I dove three times, getting to see several dolphins directly below me, which was a lot of fun. However, on the day I participated, the water was murky and visibility was poor, and I couldn't see any tropical fish because of the murkiness. I would like to try again on a day with clear water.

　泳げない人でもライフジャケットがあるので安心ですし、小さなお子様連れの家族もいてとても楽しそうで、どなたでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。
　参加者全員がイルカを見れましたし、私は3回もぐって、1回は真下に数頭見れてとても楽しかったです。ただし、私の参加日は水が濁っていて見えにくかったのと、熱帯魚は濁っていたため、見れませんでした。
普段の透き通った水の日にもう一度チャレンジしたいです。

I participated in the afternoon plan.
At the end of October, the water was a bit cold even though I was wearing a wetsuit. However, while chasing beautiful fish, time flew by.
The crew was kind, and the seating and restroom on the boat were clean and comfortable. Drinks, snacks, and fruits were provided, which satisfied my little hunger after snorkeling.
It was a very satisfying tour where I could swim with fish in a beautiful sea.

アフタヌーンプランに参加しました。
10月末の海中は、ラッシュを着ていましたが、ちょっと寒かったです。でも、綺麗な魚を追いかけている内に、時間があっという間に過ぎます。
クルーの方は優しく、船の座席、トイレは綺麗で快適に過ごせました。ドリンク、スナック、フルーツが振舞われ、シュノーケリング後の小腹も満たせます。
とても綺麗な海で魚と一緒に泳げて、大満足なツアーでした。

I was moved by the color of the ocean! Also, I was a bit anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but since they lend you a life jacket, I felt safe and enjoyed it. I was able to spot a sea turtle from the boat, so it feels like something good is going to happen. This time, my husband and I participated, but I think it's a tour that everyone can enjoy, whether it's with family or friends.

海の色に感動でした！また、初めてのシュノ-ケリングも不安でしたが、ライフジャケットを貸してもらえるので安心して楽しめます。ウミガメも船からだけど見つけることができたので、なんだかいいことがありそうです。今回は夫婦２人での参加でしたが、家族でも友達同士でも、みんなが楽しめるツアーだと思います。
